guest: we use a the same automated telephone system we've been using. there are more challenges coming in as fewer and fewer younger people are using land lines. from a polling perspective it's not a huge issue in 2010 because the turnout of younger adults is likely to be lower. younger adults, whether they have a land line or not tend to be much more supportive of president obama than their elders. and, as a result, if you get a good sample of yuck adults in your poll -- young adults it works out fairly well. in 2012 there will be methods experimented with for folks who don't have a land line. host: comparing that to an actual person on the phone talking to a potential voter do you get a different feel when you're talking one on one versus the automated system? guest: well, the automated system has couple advantages. number one from a trending point of view, when we ask a person about barack obama's job approval, the person is hearing the exact same voice with the exact same inflection and the exact same nuance that a person heard on january 20, 2009.
